Used Refuse and Recycling Trucks

Refuse and recycling trucks are specialized waste collection vehicles equipped with compaction systems and hydraulic mechanisms to collect, compress and transport waste and recyclables. Modern waste management relies on highly specialized vehicles to efficiently handle the growing volume of municipal and commercial recycling.

Custom Truck One Source provides used refuse and recycling trucks for efficient collection and transport. We carry well-maintained models at a fraction of the cost and with short lead times so you can keep operations moving.

Find the Right Truck

We provide an inventory of used refuse trucks that meet your demands. Expand your fleet and improve route capacities in diverse urban or industrial environments with the right model:

• Automated side loaders: These models are widely used for residential curbside recycling. They feature a hydraulic arm that grabs and dumps carts with a single operator, maximizing route speed and reducing labor costs.
• Rear loaders: These versatile waste collection vehicles are ideal for dense urban routes and bulk commercial recycling, suitable for routes that require manual loading.
• Front loaders: These trucks are suitable for commercial recycling routes and lifting large metal dumpsters over the cab. They offer massive compaction capabilities for high-volume accounts.

Key Features and Benefits

Recycling trucks are engineered for the smooth, secure collection of waste and its transportation to specific disposal sites. Here’s how these units simplify your operations:

• Compaction systems: Hydraulic packer blades operate within the body, crushing loose recyclables to maximize payload. This feature helps you stay on the route longer before tipping.
• Durable bodies: The truck’s body is built from high-tensile materials to withstand the abrasive nature of waste, ensuring reliable performance in challenging conditions.
• Split-body options: Some recycling trucks feature dual compartments, allowing operators to collect separated streams to prevent cross-contamination — papers on one side and glass or plastic on the other.
